Financial Realities and Stewardship The June 29th collection was $11, 862.00. Thank you for your generosity!

Pastor’s Letter July 5/6 Dear Parish Family, Memorial Day weekend 2012 was a hot one. It was the dedication mass at our newly named Basilica church and I sat to the side of the altar with Fr. Ed Kiernan, Fr. Bill, and Fr. Paul. Somewhere in the middle of the ceremony Fr. Paul leaned over to me and whispered (so everyone could hear) “You got to get AC for this place!”. His sentiment was echoed by many here at SHJM. In my first summer I asked people about what would they like to see happen with my leadership at the parish. There were many goals for our spiritual and communal life, and also many requests that we modernize and care for our beautiful church. As a pastor, it is more natural for me to think about our spiritual life. It is what I mostly write about in these letters. But parishes also have a practical side and sometimes I need to give that my attention. It is more than just comfort. Over the past two years I have noted a marked dip in attendance on the warmest weekends. This June I have celebrated eight weddings, but just two are planned for all of July and August. You can read more about our needs in the centerfold of this bulletin: a restoration list of pews and bells, lighting and carpets, and, of course, those much needed rest rooms! But let me turn my attention to the spirituality of these needs. Our parish, and I am sure you know this, is economically diverse. Some who worship here are people who struggle to make ends meet every day, others are more blessed. Stewardship, the care of things that are important to us, is not about equal giving. It is about equal sacrifice. And sacrifice is not about creating hardship for ourselves or our families. Sacrifice is about making a serious connection between our generosity and those things that are most important to us. Our church belongs to us, and whether we are worshiping or caring for temporalities, everyone should know that they have a part to play in what is happening. Please take a moment to look around our church this weekend. You will no doubt see the beauty of this special place. Take a closer look and you will see many practical needs. The motto for our fundraising efforts this summer is: Preserving our Heritage — Building our Future. Our church should reflect the history of those who have built this special place. We also need to make it accessible to the generations that will come after us. I hope each of you will take some time to prayerfully consider your support for our church. It will be a great thing to move our projects from dreams to reality, even better if every person can be proud of the role they played in the effort. Thanks for all you do for SHJM. Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Graduates Mass— June 22, 2014

Dear Parish Family, For more than 100 years, the parish of the Sacred Hearts has been an important part of the community of Southampton. Since my arrival in 2012, I have felt warmly welcomed and I look forward to many years serving in this community. In my very first summer I asked parishioners to tell me what our goals might be over these next years. One area that was mentioned over and over again was to develop and maintain our beautiful church as a place of welcome. The challenges of maintaining a historic church are great. It is not easy for any church these days, but for a relatively small congregation the demands of, not only upkeep, but of preservation and restoration are enormous. In the 1990s, our parish established a fund to help with these demands. We call it the In Nomine Domini Fund, dedicated to the preservation, improvement, and restoration of our church. At the present time, we need to add almost $1 million to this fund to help us with the needs described in this letter. This summer I will be reaching out to parishioners and friends to help us with these tasks. We will be much more successful if I have the support of people like yourselves in this effort. I know you are among the most supportive and helpful members of this parish community; hence, I write to you today to ask if you would consider helping us.

If you are able to make a gift to help us with our needs, I would be most grateful. I would also welcome the opportunity to meet you and discuss this in person or by telephone, if you so desire. Regardless of your response, would you please keep us in your prayers and thoughts and know that you are always welcome here.

Heating and Cooling When our parish undertook a substantial renovation of our beautiful church almost 25 years ago, a decision was made to forego the upgrade of our heating and cooling system. At the time there was concern that modernization, in particular air conditioning, would sacrifice the beauty of our building. This was certainly the case at the time when the only approach would have necessitated very visible air ducts in the building. But time and technology has changed quite a bit and what was once impossible is within reach. Between heat and humidity, summer can be a very uncomfortable time at Sacred Hearts. We have kept careful records over the past two years and we know that our attendance drops during the warmest days of summer. We are celebrating very few weddings in the months of July and August when our church should be at its busiest. For those who do brave the warm temperatures the experience on these warm days is of much discomfort and the noise of our fans. Solution: Present technology would make it possible to replace our radiators with air handler units that would both heat and cool our church. In a sense we would be simply replacing our radiators with these integrated heating / cooling units. The units could be wood finished, similar to the one shown here, and actually look quite a bit better than the radiators! Total cost for heating / cooling / new electrical $650K Facilities: The comfort of our parishioners and guests is important. Our church had become a destination for people from all across our island and a frequent issue is the lack of rest rooms in our church. We have consulted an architect and it would be easily possible to add rest rooms within the vestibules on the east and west front doors of our church. The expansion needed would be minimal and barely noticeable outside the church. The total anticipated cost would be about 75K. Lighting: Lighting is a major energy cost in our church. We need to upgrade our historic fixtures to use modern energy efficient systems (fluorescent and LED). We also need to examine the safety lighting outside our church. If you have ever come here in the evening or on winter afternoons you have probably noticed that our walkway and door lighting could be improved. Estimated cost: 50K Bell Tower: Our parish is blessed with four cast bells which call us to worship each week. These historic bells have been many years without the refurbishment of their ringing hardware. Originally the bells were actually swung – probably by a system of ropes! At some point electric strikers were installed. This system now needs to be renewed. First of all, the mountings for the bells have been corroded by our salt air and need to be replaced with new stainless hardware. The hardware itself is not expensive but the work of lifting and restoring bells is very specialized. As this work is done it makes sense to update the ringing system which currently is almost impossible to program. Total cost for these improvements: 60K

Pew Refinishing: Our pews are truly part of our history at SHJM. They are over 100 years old and have accommodated our parishioners and some celebrities over these years. These days most parishes simply replace pews with new ones as they wear. But here they are part of our history and most parishioners would prefer that they be cleaned and renewed. Our pews were attended to in our last restoration with a process of sanding and applying a new coat of urethane. One can notice many areas where the urethane has worn or become scratched. It would be possible now to do a more comprehensive restoration. This would involve sanding, repairing, strengthening, and applying a furniture grade quality finish. This would make our pews beautiful for another 100 years! Cost: 75K Carpeting: The carpet in our church is almost at the end of its useful life and it will need to be replaced as work is done to our pews and heating / cooling. Cost will be about 45K.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened…. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart….” This Sunday Jesus seems to be reminding us not only that he is there for us in times of need, but that his meekness and humility are lessons for us. Yes, we can lean on him for support, but it also takes meekness and humility to admit we need the help. And not only can it be hard for us to ask for aid, but it can be hard for others, too. Let’s be mindful of that to make it easier for them to seek support from us. If you like these weekly reflections from Pax Christi Metro New York, please learn more about us at our website, www.nypaxchristi.org. Come to our events. Join us as members. We’d love to have you.

Mi Yugo Es Suave y Mi Carga Ligera - Jesús quiere que tomemos su carga, como él toma la nuestra. Nos dice: "Mi yugo es suave y mi carga ligera". Así es como debemos vivir: llevando su carga, cargando la cruz. Nuestras propias cargas se comparten mejor con el que nos lleva a la salvación. El Padre nos depositó en las manos de Jesús, su Hijo, quien nos lleva a casa. Dios nos lleva a su mesa, la Eucaristía. Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2001, OCP. Derechos reservados.

Debilidad y Fortaleza - La debilidad y la fortaleza aparecen hoy en las lecturas como parte esencial de la reflexión de la Iglesia. Para los cristianos, la debilidad se basa en la apertura a la gracia de Dios, quien siempre está dispuesto a hacernos fuertes. Cuando asumimos una actitud de fortaleza propia, de influencia o de poder, nos alejamos más de la fuerza de Dios. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2011 © OCP. All rights reserved

Ven a Mí - La invitación de Jesús de venir a Él es un llamado a meditar. Es recomendable hacer un retiro de verano. Nuestras almas sentirán descanso, nuestra carga será más ligera y seremos aliviados por este Dios-Rey, Cristo, que es amable y misericordioso, sin ira y de gran bondad, compasivo hacia todos y que levanta a los que caen y a los que están agobiados. By María Dolores Martínez, from Liturgia y Canción 2008 © 2008, OCP. All rights reserved.
